Kimberlin Brown opens up about leaving Brave and beautiful after more than three decades.
The 62-year-old actress’ time on the CBS soap came to a shocking end on Monday when her character, Sheila Carter, was stabbed to death by her daughter-in-law, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
“Well, you know, it’s hard for me to be at the moment; I’m not going to lie about this,” Brown told TV Insider. “I guess if anyone was going to take Sheila down, I’m happy it’s Steffy. I just wish no one had knocked Sheila down.”

“It’s my happy place where I’ve been blessed for over 35 years,” she continued. “But I’ve had good results in it, so I’m one of the lucky ones, there’s no doubt about that.”
Brown revealed that Sheila’s death was not only emotionally draining, but also physically demanding, saying: “Can I just say the aftermath for Sheila, lying on a concrete floor for hours on end, really hurts! I was bruised all week from lying on the concrete!”
“Laying there on that floor when the paramedics are announcing the time of death, my eyes were closed and you’re holding your breath so it doesn’t look like you’re breathing,” she added. “It was just like, ‘Wow, OK, I guess we’ll have to see what could be next for me.'”

As for Woods, she called the moment “bittersweet,” telling the paper, “I absolutely love working with Kimberlin; she’s just the consummate professional. She elevates every scene and is so creative.”
On the other hand, she felt it was the right move for her character, explaining, “For Steffy, hallelujah! This is her moment. How long did it take for Steffy to take her down and it’s finally happening, so it’s going to be a big shock. For someone who watched the series, and that 1709104835 fighting Sheila, it’s a really cool moment.”
